The film is the first animation movie to have been entirely produced in Mauritius and is a spin-off of the international hit series ‘Jungle Beat’ that have amassed more than 1.3 billion YouTube views.

‘Jungle Beat: The Movie’ will be available on major global platforms, including Apple TV, Amazon and Google Play, as well as a host of local TVOD platforms, and has been dubbed in 13 languages so far.

In May 2020, Jungle Beat was shortlisted among the 10 finalists in the prestigious Annecy 2020 animated film competition, with the final winner due to be announced in June 2020. This selection was from an entry pool of 3,180 films submitted from studios in 94 different countries. This followed an incredibly warm response at major international film markets, including the European Film Market (Berlin) and American Film Market (Santa Monica), with theatrical sales having been agreed into more than 40 different countries, before the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic earlier this year.

It will be recalled that the Government of Mauritius, through its investment promotion agency, the Economic Development Board (EDB) introduced a slew of initiatives over the past years to further develop the local film industry.

The Film Rebate Scheme (FRS) was introduced in 2013 and entitles film producers to a cash rebate of up to 40% on several kinds of audiovisual projects including animation movies, films, TV shows, documentaries and commercials etc.
